    Blimey they sure do go crazy when left to their own devices lol. I remember growing some of these about 10 years ago and they look great but as soon as I went near them the crystals would fall off. It was 1 of those kits you buy, it was a snowman with a fir tree. Might have another play now I know they can be left to dry out to firm them up. I wish the blue crystals hadn't gotten lost behind the small pink ones. They were the prettier of the lot. But maybe it's because they are blue and that's my favourite colour. Thanks for the great video and for showing us how these are done. xx

    This reminds me of the Magic Garden kits I used to buy my girls for Christmas. You build the specially treated and coloured cardboard ‘trees’ then pour water in the dish and watch them grow. The water would permeate the trees and form the most beautiful blossoms! They looked like Japanese cherry blossom mini-orchards… it’s the simple things in life, isn’t it? ❣️💐
    PS: just throwing it out there, have you ever observed a tourmaline gem? Clever girl like you could easily come up with something 😉 I looked it up and I’m talking about black tourmaline in clear quartz.
